Why Lemar gloom can only be good for Reds

So says the ECHO’s Ian Doyle.

He writes:

It wasn’t very long ago Jurgen Klopp was finding attracting Europe’s leading young talent to Liverpool as difficult as persuading an Australian cricketer to keep his hands out of his trousers.

Try as he might, it just wasn’t happening.

Back during his first 18 months in charge, Klopp was keen on, among others, Mario Gotze, Mahmoud Dahoud and Julian Brandt.

All three were strongly linked. All three were scouted.

All three ended up elsewhere.

Ian believes that the likes of Lemar now expressing his regret over a proposed switch to Anfield not happening shows how far the Reds have come.

Rodgers believes Klopp is being judged differently

Former Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers believes his replacement Jurgen Klopp is being judged differently than he was while in charge at Anfield.

Rodgers averaged 1.77 points per game with the Reds with a win percentage of 51.2% while Klopp has a slightly better 1.86 points per game with a win percentage of 52.4%.

Now in charge at Celtic, the Ulsterman says:

“If you equate what was said about me with what might be said about a foreign coach, then as an example Mauricio Pochettino has done a great job at Tottenham but they probably wouldn’t say, ‘It’s down to Harry Kane’.

“And it is the same with Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool with the contribution of Mo Salah. But for a British coach, there always has to be a catch.”

Ladies lose

A disappointing day for Liverpool Ladies who have lost 4-0 to their Birmingham City counterparts.

Gomez learning from Van Dijk

Liverpool youngster Joe Gomez has been speaking on the lessons he’s been learning from Virgil van Dijk since the Reds made the Dutchman the world’s most expensive defender.

He says:

“I didn’t see it as blocking my path or anything like that. It’s a great opportunity to learn from him.

“I am not overly stressing about it or paranoid about other people coming in. It’s great to be in environments where I can learn from players like that. I am just trying to soak it all up and be the best sponge I can be.

“I think he has a great presence, everyone sees that. He is very dominant in the way he plays and his body language shows that he has quality on the ball.”

Wilson waiting from the call from Klopp

Harry Wilson has been impressing on loan at Hull City in recent weeks and he also scored his first goal for Wales in their 6-0 thrashing of China on Thursday but after just 25 minutes of first team action to date for Liverpool the midfielder is still dreaming of making the grade under Jurgen Klopp.

He said:

“I have been at Liverpool since the age of eight, so that’s always been my dream to play in the first team.

“So hopefully I can do that. If that’s not to come next season hopefully it will in the future.

“He (Klopp) is a brilliant man manager, so I had a few conversations with him, let him know I wanted senior football and then he told me his view of it.”

Anfield atmosphere will be an advantage - and City know it

Being at home in the second leg for their Champions League quarter-final showdown might give Manchester City the edge against Liverpool but the Reds opponents could be concerned that playing at the Etihad isn’t quite the same as Anfield.

Former Liverpool favourite Dirk Kuyt believes that Liverpool’s home support could prove pivotal across the tie.

He said:

“It was amazing to be back and with a full crowd it was very special.

“We think it is normal the stadium is sold out but I don’t think in many other places in the world charity games are sold out so we can be very proud of that.

“It doesn’t even matter if it is a friendly game or a Champions League night, the Liverpool crowd is always behind the team.”

This side would obviously look a lot different had I been born a few years earlier, but despite this generation of Liverpool players not being as successful as those that went before them there’s still some pretty special talents in there.

Gerard Houllier’s 2000/01 side that won three trophies makes up the bulk of it, as that paved the way for the Champions League success in 2005 under Rafael Benitez.

I’d say that those two could be joint managers, but then hasn’t exactly worked for Liverpool in the past.

'Can to demand £200k per week to stay'

Emre Can will demand an eye-watering £200,000 a week deal - comparable to the figures that Liverpool are reportedly ready to offer star man Mohamed Salah to fend off interest from Real Madrid - to stay with the Reds reports Tom Hopkinson in the Mirror.

He writes:

Liverpool will have to pay Emre Can more than £200,000-a-week if they want him to stay.

The Germany international, who is out of contract at the end of June, is looking for a new deal that would make him the highest-paid player at Anfield.

Liverpool’s owners are unlikely to meet the 24-year-old’s demands and there is a growing sense that the midfielder will be on his way at the end of the season.

Premier League leaders Manchester City and Italian giants Juventus are among his admirers.

Wow. I’m really not sure what Can’s big problem with committing to Liverpool is - if it isn’t money.

He plays most weeks and is a valued member of an up-and-coming, hugely talented squad.

Reds fans could be left scrambling for Kiev tickets

One of the enduring images of Istanbul and indeed all of Liverpool’s European finals are the scenes of Reds fans across the stadium en masse.

However, if the Reds make it to this season’s Champions League final in Kiev, they could be struggling to satisfy demands.

Ian Doyle writes:

UEFA have already started the release of 40,700 tickets for the showpiece occasion, which will take place at Kiev’s 63,000-capacity Olimpiyskiy Stadium on Saturday, May 26.

Each finalist will be guaranteed only 17,000 tickets – fewer than the number already set aside by UEFA for sponsor partners, broadcasters and hospitality.

Legends match

There was a full house at Anfield yesterday as Liverpool’s legends tackled their Bayern Munich counterparts in a heavyweight veterans clash.

The ECHO’s LFC reporter James Pearce was present and he saw how an unlikely hero stole the show.

He writes:

Bjorn Tore Kvarme didn’t find the net during his largely forgettable two-and-a-half year stint with the Reds in the late 1990s.

But the former Norway defender finally got off the mark at the age of 45 with an emphatic finish in front of the Kop three minutes from time as Liverpool Legends rallied to force a 5-5 draw with their Bayern Munich counterparts.
